but we have a chance here today in the commonwealth of virginia. we have a chance to say this will not be our final moment and our final stand. there is more important things statue.ss than just a we know that we see it across the nation. but this statue is a symbol of oppression. if it is a simple it becomes an idol. if it becomes an idol, as a christian, i am convinced that the idols must be torn down. [applause] northam, lieutenant governor fairfax, and all of the elected officials, i note this thisst a moment -- i know is just a moment. we go back to work renewed that this is the start of a new moment. a new cause, a lost cause is dead. a new cause is upon us. ,ne of equality, justice, peace and concorde. it is this scope -- hope that we come together and say we must address these issues and it starts with the statues and goes on from there. today, for the work of justice continues, and the work of what we do to bring about change continues. pentecost,eek was and we talked about the story of the holy spirit descending upon the first apostles. o

. -- they dreamed here in our commonwealth. a declaration of rights before the united states declared independence. it said that all are equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights. specifically called out freedom of the press and freedom of religion. in a church on a hill just 15 blocks from here, virginia's first elected governor helped launch the american revolution when he cried give me liberty or give me death. that was patrick henry and i now have the job that he once held 72 governors ago. these are our greatest legacies as americans. but there is a whole a more to the story. those inspiring words and high ideals did not apply to everyone. not then, and not now. of the at the bottom very same hill, one of the country's largest slave trading markets was coming to life. virginians would sell men, women, and children for profit. americans buying and selling other americans. this is just as much the american story as it is one that we are only just now beginning to tell more fully. through 400 years of amer

is today's commonwealth of nations.is that the term that they're using and how does that or does that not anticipate the later developments. >> that's a good question. historians have used it. so it shows up in historical literature. and so i'm emboldened to use it because of other people's inactuism. nothing like blaming someone else. there's a lot of -- you know, i have to go and look -- i would want to look at galloway. but it's not just galloway. i would want to look at some of the irish writers, graten has things to say about this. one of the really interesting early proponents of this is john cartwright who writes a pamphlet. what he means by independence is legislative independence. he's envisions what we would call a commonwealth system and publishes i want to say in 1776, i talked about it a lot in any first book, it's right at the start of the car. and he may use the term commonwealth in there. of course when someone like cartwright or james burg, another person who's talking in these terms, a scottsman, they

they are actually thinking of themselves as commonwealth men, there were some commonwealth women as well. catherine macaulay being one of them. it harkens back to an old republican style, so it is a complicated question. commonwealth, just like republic, it is simply the english version of republic. it can mean both, and extended loosen association of state. republican can mean that to. but it also can mean or refer to a state that is itself a republic. the commonwealth of pennsylvania. i grew up here. i am very proud of the fact that we are commonwealth just like kentucky and massachusetts. commonwealth, it is a slippery term in this period. you do see republic used to describe a larger sort of commonwealth style federation. you see commonwealth as well but i have to do some digging around to be certain of that answer. when in the back. >> when we were kids and we learned about the american revolution in elementary school, we learned that everybody in the country was a patriot. as we get a little older we learned that not so much. i am just sort of curious. this balance between patriots

okay. >> when you talk about a commonwealth style, obviously what cops to mind is today's kind of commonwealthf nations but i don't want to be putting that back. is that the term they are using? how does that or does that not anticipate the later developments? >> that's -- that's a good question. historians have used it. so it shows up in historical literature. so i am emboldened the use it because of other people's an acronyms. there is a lot of -- you know, i would have to go and look -- i would want to look at galloway, but it is not just galloway. i would want the look at some of the irish writers. graton has things to say about this. one of the really interesting early proponents of this is john cartwright, who writes a pamphlet he calls american independence, the glory of great britain. though what he means by independence is legislative independence. he is envisioning what we would an act row cyst particularly call a commonwealth. it is either '75 or '76. it is right at the start of the war. and he may use the term commonwealth in there. of course when someone like cartwright, who -- or

there is a question back there. >> when you talk about a commonwealth style, today is a commonwealth of nations, but i don't want to be anachronistically putting that back, is that the term they are using? how does that not anticipate the later developments? >> historians have used it. it shows up in historical literature, so i'm emboldened to use it because of other people's anachronisms. nothing like blaming someone else for your own anachronisms. i want to look at galloway, but it is not just galloway. i want to look at some of the irish writers. one of the early interesting proponents of this is john carterwrite. he calls american independence the glory of great britain. what he means is legislative independence. he is envisioning what we would anachronistic recall a commonwealth. it's either 75 or 76, right at the start of the war. he may use the term commonwealth in there. someone like cartwright or jamesburg, another person talking in these terms, they are thinking of themselves as commonwealth men, there are some commonwealth women too, sort of harking back to an older republ

especially reviewing the film, that falls into the purview of the commonwealth attorney. we talk about defunding, i wouldn't look at it as defunding. i would look at it as how do we best prioritize the funding we have? that's a long-winded question but that's the way i would approach it. i think that's the way police departments want to approach it as we discussed reform. >> governor, what is your timeline for phase two? loosenwe be looking for restrictions in weeks, or months or in the fall? what is your timeline for phase two and going into phase three? gov. northam: the question is, what is our timeline. a minimum two weeks, and i showed you the data today, that the trends are very favorable. we will continue to watch these on a daily basis, watch seven-day trends. right now, things look good, and i encourage all virginians, don't let down your guard. we need to keep doing the great things that you all are doing, but certainly the amount of ppe is important, and the secretary who is with us today and his team have done a phenomenal job. our ability to test, as we have

we have the chance to make a nation and a commonwealth one our founders envisioned. one of justice, and liberty for every american and every pennsylvanian. founders believed we could do this. and i believe we can do it too. thank you pretty. we think we fall short in some of these areas. to make these changes you talk about. inaudible. >> again if you're looking at the 21st century reported policing, it looks that broad areas pretty you know from to healthcare to housing, to food security. this is a issue that extends throughout the way we live. we can no longer afford to have two pennsylvanians. two americas. this is a call for all of us to pool together and say we need to have equity and fairness and decency and humane treatment of each other. and as i keep saying, if you can take justice away from somebody. you can to get away from you. if you can take justice or take an equal opportunity from somebody, you can take it from everybody. we are all vulnerable to that. unfairness is pernicious and can extend the cancer. if we don't stop it. we can't say that it's okay

we have to keep going to ensure our commonwealth is more fair and equal for everyone. that is something that everyone of us, all 13 million of us share a vested self interest in. pennsylvania has some of the best law enforcement. this is not about law enforcement agencies. we have some of the best in the , and it is been an honor for me as governor to work with them. to establish better uniformity across our law enforcement agencies, we will strive to have becomeice departments accredited. as we change our system, we must continue to work with communities across pennsylvania so that we -- the changes we make are long-lasting and effective. to make it fair, we all need to work together. this is a call for reflection, improvement, and most of all, learning. we must rise to the challenge, because too many people have lost faith in our public safety institutions and our institutions in general. we must redouble our efforts to earn the trust of everyone we serve. thousands of peaceful protesters have lifted this call to action for freedom and equality throughout pennsylvani

does it great meal at the commonwealth is a powerful good in the world —— my power for good commonwealth good in the world —— my powerfor good in the world and we should work strategically with commonwealth countries in leadership, aid and trade issues? i thank my honourable friend very much. he is right that commonwealth is a powerfulforce friend very much. he is right that commonwealth is a powerful force for good, 53 nations united with a shared tradition and a shared ambition to encourage free trade around the world and we will develop and many other important causes which will of course be addressing at the summit when we can hold next year. thank you. they can lift the potential for a bout of poverty and it can be prime minister give me a cast—iron guarantee that the plans he has announced today that cannot result in any diminution of the uk government was my previous support to free trade across the road from palestine to the ivory coast? of course. i think today's statement is a hugely positive opportunity for the uk to truly lead the world in tackling climate change and decarbon

rural legislators, matt jones, who is one of the biggest voices in our commonwealth, many thought was going to run and beat amy mcgrath and mitch mcconnell is endorsing me, because we're building a coalition that says no matter where you're from, what your pro-noun is, how much money you have, that you matter. and that's the momentum. look, we just broke $1 million in fund raising. we're at $600,000 that we raised in the last couple of days. >> charles booker, thanks for sharing time with us tonight. that is "all in" this evening. "the 11th hour" starts right now. >>> good evening. day 1236 of the trump administration. 148 days to go until our presidential election. exactly two weeks to the day after george floyd's death at the snknee of a police officer. and demonstrators are back on our streets as we come on the air tonight. we're looking specifically at marches and rallies under way from new york on the left to portland, oregon on the right, on both coasts and many places in between. the public what they have taken to calling defunding the police. the phrase even appears in large y

nothing in the constitution says that we cannot make the washington state the douglas commonwealth. frederick douglass said there is no power without struggle. the sons and daughters of washington, d.c., laid down their life for this country in world wars. they stand for this country in service to this government. why are we denying them their right. alaska has 700,000-plus people. there is no population requirement. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. ms. jackson lee: make washington d.c. a state now. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from georgia is recognized. mr. hice: i continue to reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from district of columbia is recognized. ms. norton: yield 30 seconds to mr. blumenauer of oregon. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from oregon is recognized. miss blumenauer: thank you. i am intrigued listening to my colleagues waxes eloquent about the divine creation of the district of columbia. give me a break. it was old-fashioned horse trading between hamilton, madison, and jefferson like

i'm not convinced that boris would think anyone for reminding him of his states of the commonwealth andbody to be a resounding success in thatjob. but, here we are and my worry is that when you put the whole question of international aid is just a matter, just one part of what is going on in the foreign commonwealth office, will they get the priority that some of us think it deserves? trying to persuade a dictator not to cut off the head of a political rival in the following day, some an office in £300 million of british a's, that does not sharpen the message. but, in terms of its national development funding he said they are to continue with the .7% of gdp and actually, the critics of the policy, we do not or friend stands on this as well, it might make it more politically palatable. i think that is the thinking within the government as well. we will see in the think with brexit, whether or not the office makes it work. i doubt that but i think there's something fishy about it that i would like to know more of. i will see it that i would like to know more of. iwill see how it that i wo

the several months, this commonwealth has been living with the pandemic that has put on full display our society's inequalities and injustice. this has not been in words or theories. it has been in death. inequalities span over 400 years of segregation, jim crow, and racism. these inequalities exist in many forms. health care, public safety, and justice. black and african americans make up just a percent of the state's population but nearly 18% of covid-19 deaths over the past several months have been from that same community. inequality in health care results in death. lady justice is supposed to be blind. but many in our state feel rightfully so that color is all that is seen. our incarceration rates bear that out. incident with breonna , it shows it is real. disproportionate death. in my short time as governor, i have seen and felt a lot. i have had individuals try to create fear and terror in my own family. but that has been a few days, maybe a week. certainly not a lifetime. i will never understand how it feels to carry the frustration and fatigue of racism in a world and countr

what we are seeing now in louisville and all over the country, so many across the commonwealth, are peopleho feel ignored and abandoned. they feel like justice is not accountable to them. they feel like their humanity is ignored and denied. they are feeling the weight of structural racism and inequity that is permeated for generations. i speak boldly on that and informs my platform and why i am running to beat mitch mcconnell. we need real change, not just tweets. andood in the legislature at every level of government demanding for systems level change an account ability. at this moment of racial tension , staying -- standing to say that we need to get rid of no knock warrants. we need to reform with how we engage in -- with police. how do we bring more collaboration to the community and create more account ability? the law enforcement integrity act, how we make sure we are accounting for the racial disparities, in our justice system. mr. broihier, same question to you. the family wants the police officer in her death to be charged. they want them to be fired and eventually charged. do you

to create a new department, in your department, the foreign and commonwealth and development office.s amassed world—class expertise and all of its people can take pride in how they have helped to transform the lives of hundreds of millions of people across the world. to select but a few examples, they have striven to protect millions of children across the world from polio, which is now on the verge of global eradication, they have paved the way for millions of girls to attend school for the first time in countries such as pakistan, as i have seen for myself. they have done their utmost to ease the suffering in syria and in sierra leone, they we re in syria and in sierra leone, they were central to the defeat of an outbreak of the ebola virus. all of this amounts to the finest demonstration of british values, following in the great tradition of the country that ended the slave trade and resisted totalitarianism. it is precisely that ambition, vision and expertise that will now be at the heart of a new department, taking forward the work of uk aid to reduce poverty and that will remai
